I'm sorry to say that I'm not too surprised this post hasn't received any other replies yet. I've lived in Westchester for 3 years and have yet to witness a speck of gay pride.

I'm not gay but I've found that areas catering to a gay clientele tend to have more interesting shops, better restaurants, and more interesting culture. If there are any such areas in Westchester or nearby, would someone please tip me off so I can go and visit them!

I don't think there is a particular section of Yonkers that caters to gay families. Are you looking for somewhere that has a larger population of gay families in a particular neighborhood?

I think there are a lot of gay families throughout Westchester, they are just not clustered in one section. If you're going to look for a home, consider NE Yonkers. I like Colonial Heights, Sprain Lake Knolls, Crestwood and Westchester Hills. These areas are all around Central Ave and very nice. Good Luck.

I've been trying to relocate to an apt complex off Central Ave as well! After looking around Yonkers, that area seems very nice. For what I can tell there are lots of shopping and easy access to public trans. down do the city if needed.

this thread just came back to life. we are a low key couple, we found a nice home in Lincoln Park we are considering purchasing (right off mclean and 87), we just want to make sure we feel safe and won't be harassed. It is a irish area, we spent quite a bit of time driving around and hanging out, any insight

I'm not as familiar with Lincoln Park as I am with other areas of Yonkers. I do know its a nice area with beautiful homes. I think that the areas surrounding NYC are very diverse and most people are unfazed by alternative lifestyles. It's not like you are in a remote part of the South.
McLean does have a lot of Irish bars. Sometimes the people who populate those bars can get rowdy, but that can happen anywhere where alcohol is involved.

I find people to be generally welcoming. My in-laws lived next door to a gay couple In Easchester. The couple was friendly, kept their home and property neat, and minded their own business and my in-laws were thrilled to have such nice neighbors. The only time I see hostility among neighbors has less to do with their sexual orientation, and more to do with petty disagreements that escalate (barking dogs, tree branches on someone else's property, fence too high, parking the car in front of someone else's house etc)

To be honest I've never seen any openly gay people around my area of Woodlawn/Yonkers. This area is very blue-collar and pretty old-school if you ask me.

I really don't know how to answer this question. I doubt that anything will happen to you, but I just can't see a gay person particularly enjoying living around here. To each his own I suppose.
